Well, I have had a couple of very boring days...

Monday morning, I went to start the truck, and there was a big ka-thump.

The timing belt broke.

Luckily, the truck was sitting still when it happened, if I'd been going down the road, it would have bent up all the valves... as is, I didn't have to replace any of them. Actually, the mechanic didn't have to replace any of them, I didn't do one darned thing... except pay for it.

So I've been sitting in the house doing absolutely nothing. And whining about it.

I seriously never realized just how mind-numbingly bad daytime TV is....

but then, this afternoon, The mechanic called and the truck was ready.

So, in the space of 10 seconds, I went from "I'm so bored" to "I don't wanna go to work....."

Just can't make me happy, huh?

    Well, a timing chain ain't what I'd call minimal. It's not something that I'd be willing to even try myself.

    This must be the car trouble week-- I had to replace the cv axel and had a flat yesterday!!! At least I was near Sears and had it fixed quick! Sounds like we both need new vehicle's and someone to pay for them!

    Well, at least you may be on a more even keel for the rest of the week. Heck, work might even end up fun!
